Looks good Steve. I wish you would do a mullered border on that checkering though. Really sets it off. Would be tough duty on that side panel though!
JR John, if I'm not mistaken the mullered border would hide over-runs. The checkering that Steve did is what is found on higher grade guns and only the best checkers worked on these guns and did not use a border.

JR John, if I'm not mistaken the mullered border would hide over-runs. The checkering that Steve did is what is found on higher grade guns and only the best checkers worked on these guns and did not use a border. That's conventional thinking aimed at amateurs who can't checker well. Certainly, a border can hide careless overruns, but that's not the purpose of a well-done border. Most of these Prussian Daly guns had a line border. Some had a slightly mullered border. Most fine British guns have beautifully done mullered borders that set off the checkering and are beautiful in themselves. I just think they add to the finished product, like a nice frame on an oil painting. JR
